Prairie Grove - Released

[Mazikainen]

Problem solved. It was indeed corrupt data, but my connection was to blame. I'm loading on a rather poor wireless and it managed to ef up both loads. You'd think we'd have proper verification of downloads in the net these days but no.

Map looks great, although the framerate is worse than chancellorsville. We'll try a MP game on it now.

This map look amazing and id really like to get it working but im having problems. I have just bought Chancellorsville but am getting this error. Ive downloaded the Zip file and the installer but it still won’t load I’d be grateful for any help.

Get rid of HD_ANV_1863_8TS, it's now included in B&F XI. That GUI_Mod will interfere I believe, suggest you disable it.

Main thing though, place Prairie Grove lowest in the Modifications priority listing as it has a unique toolbar display and portrait overrides and needs to read everything last.

Some other mods might be interfering still, I just am not acquainted with them.

When not using Prairie Grove disable it, as it will interfere with many mods and most likely not provide any advantages.

[Jubal Early]

Thanks for your help Reb Bugler I did try that and even disabled all mods before this crash but still get the same failure to load.

[RebBugler]

When mods are disabled they won't appear in the log. So, something is amiss here Sir.

Edit: Still your last listing should work but obviously the GETTYSBURG\Mods\Chancellorsville Extras is causing one error, however I don't know what's causing the DirectX error.

[Davinci]

I think that the problem is that the Prairie Grove Map is not Installed correctly.

Look at the last two lines of his SOWGB.log file.

I removed all the folders from the mod file expect prairie Grove just to be 100% sure but still get the same crash. Its a mystery to me but not to worry I have Chancellorsville running ok and that should keep me busy

This could be an installer issue, there were reports of this. If you haven't tried already, try using the direct download link on the first post: Zip file Download Link ...you download, unzip and copy it to the mods folder...

[Jubal Early]

Thanks Davinci and Reb Bugler I have downloaded and tried the installer three times and the Zip file twice but get the same error. Perhaps someone else will have the same problem if it’s a corrupted download.

[RebBugler]

Well, I just tested this with the 1.5001 patch version and could not replicate those errors. Stay tuned, I'll upload my version, we'll see what happens. Coming soon in my next post.

FYI, plus I learned something. When you disable mods they will still show up in the log file. You must disable and quit the game, then restart for them to disappear from the log file.

Edit: download will have to wait, having server connect probs.
